Default New Black faced Axis Halo's w/ yellow lip?

I saw these while flipping through a magazine at Borders....looks stunning!

I want these in a not too aggressive offset so they will not rub no matter how low or how fast I drive.....what's the offsets you guys recommend?

here's the link:

Based on successes and failures from many S2000 owners, we can use an offset calculator to figure out what other offsets and tires will work. These are minimum recommended offsets. You can use a higher offset if you want, and you will get additional fender clearance.

For the front:
6.5

I wasn't looking at these, but I was looking at the Reverb's when I called Axis to see if any of their rims would fit on my S. They told me the only wheel they make that fits w/o having to do any work is the Hiro in the 19x8.5 (Front) and 19x9.5 (Rear) in the Hyper Silver finish.

You may want to call them and see if they give you the same info. Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the helpful info guys!

I plan on using a 225/40/18 tire up front and 265/30 out back. My offsets on my Work Meister s1r's are 56+ up front and 63+ in the rear.

My rears have no issues with rubbing but my fronts tend to hit the right front fender on a hard right turn up a steep curb or driveway. If I want the wheel to have less aggressive offsets do I use a bigger or smaller number?


hey what did you order your Gold Halo wheel offsets in?

going to talk to my buddy today to see my cost for a set in 18's.
